Oecd's reported carbon emissions

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), headquartered in France and operating within the "Other services" industry, has disclosed emissions data for 2020 and 2019. In 2020, the OECD reported total emissions of approximately 10,000,000,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes substantial Scope 3 emissions, estimated at approximately 26,600,000,000 kg CO2e. Data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions was not provided for this year. For 2019, the OECD's reported emissions include approximately 1,012,620 kg CO2e for Scope 1. Scope 3 emissions for 2019 were approximately 9,900,155 kg CO2e from business travel, 687,135 kg CO2e from employee commute, 12,055 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and 96,440 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations. Scope 2 emissions data was not available for 2019. While the provided data does not specify overarching reduction targets for the OECD itself, it highlights climate commitments from initiatives it supports or reports on. For instance, the report "Which SMEs are Greening" mentions that Mantis World, a UK textile producer, committed in 2018 to reducing 50% of their Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. Additionally, the Flexible Packaging Initiative, launched in early 2022 by major companies, aims to increase investments in a circular economy for flexible plastic packaging, with participants committing to near-term actions. These initiatives underscore a broader engagement with climate action within the sectors the OECD engages with.
